IRS Pushes GUST Deadline to February 2
January 14, 2004 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - The Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) has, once again, extended the deadline
for GUST determination letter applications that had been due
January 31.
Reported by Fred Schneyer
According to an IRS announcement, applications received at the IRS, postmarked by the US Postal Service or recorded or marked as delivered to a designated private delivery service by February 2, 2004 will be considered to be filed on a timely basis.
In late August, the federal tax officials extended the deadline for plans whose GUST remedial amendment period ended on or after September 30, 2003 and January 1 2004 until January 31 (See IRS Blows Back GUST Deadline).
